Kinship

The patrilineal group consisted of several patrilineal extended families
that lived together and cooperated economically. The extended families
consisted variously of parents with one or two married sons, or several
couples (married brothers or male first cousins), or a small family with
unmarried children and a parent or other relative of the husband (rarely
of the wife).
